Oregon State University - Program in Water Conflict Management and Transformation (PWCMT)
The Program in Water Conflict Management and Transformation (PWCMT)
The program is aimed at supporting water conflict prevention and resolution in Oregon, across the United States and internationally through a four-fold approach:
(1) The Certificate in Water Conflict Management and Transformation;
(2) The Transboundary Freshwater Dispute Database;
(3) The Universities Partnership for Transboundary Waters; and
(4) Collaborative Facilitations and Skills-Building Workshops.
This Program is being designed to fill the niche as a broader, more integrative approach that explicitly integrates human, policy, and scientific dimensions of water resources within the framework of governance and sustainability, and focuses training and research on all facets of water conflict transformation. The PWCMT serves as a training, resource and information hub for students, citizens, officials, and business leaders in Oregon, across the United States and internationally, facilitating dialogue on critical water issues across diverse values and perspectives.

TRANSBOUNDARY WATERS
"Fierce national competition over water resources has prompted fears that water issues contain the seeds of violent conflict. If all the world's peoples work together, a secure and sustainable water future can be ours."
Kofi Annan, former UN Secretary General.
As water quality degrades or the quantity available has to meet rising demands over time, competition among water users intensifies. This is nowhere more destabilizing than in river basins that cross political boundaries.
